Meta is the only major U.S. AI company that has not agreed to voluntarily submit its frontier AI models for government security review under a Trump administration framework signed June 2. The other major developers—Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, and xAI—have already signed on. The voluntary review system, run by the Center for AI Standards and Innovation with input from federal security and standards agencies, is expected to be fully operational by the end of July.

On June 23, the New York Times reported that the Trump administration is pressing Meta to voluntarily submit its AI models for government security reviews. Every other major U.S. AI developer—Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, and xAI—has already agreed, making Meta the only holdout. A Meta spokesman said the company is "working through the details" and hopes to sign the agreement soon.
Why it matters
President Trump signed an executive order on June 2 establishing a voluntary review system under which AI developers submit their most powerful frontier AI models to the federal government for up to 30 days of evaluation before public release. The Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) runs the reviews with input from the NSA, CISA, and NIST. Meta's resistance stands out because founder Mark Zuckerberg sits on the administration's AI advisory committee.
What to watch
The full review process is expected to be operational by the end of July. Meta's decision whether to sign on will be a key signal of its stance on government AI oversight.
